The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently browsing the Fernie 2 Local community Hall in Mpuluzi to render services towards the community.
SASSA are going to be rendering companies for instance new social grant applications, change of payment method, client treatment enquiries, and also the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In an announcement, the agency stated it is alarmed about the significant quantity of people depending on social grants for survival.
“The aim on the Integrated Registration SRD Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to a substantial number of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“That is due to the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no entirely functional office committed to service the area on a regular basis. The company point established for intervention activities a high inflow of opportunity beneficiaries, that makes it complicated with the Workplace to attend to all people who stop by a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise more resources to enable the servicing of all customers and increase usage of Social Assistance services,” the agency said.
